Description of key information
The skin sensitisation potential of the substance (EC 406-176-9) has been assessed by a study on substance itself and supported by reading across the results of studies conducted on two structurally similar analogue substances. It is proposed that these results can be used in the assessment of the target substance (EC 406-176-9).
OECD 406 study on target substance (EC 406-176-9):
The test material did not show any evidence of sensitisation in guinea pigs following induction and challenge at 2000 mg/kg bw.
0 of 20 animals (test and control groups) showed positive reactions for skin sensitization after challenge exposure.
Source Substance; 1,3:2,4-bis-O-(3,4-dimethylbenzylidene)-D-glucitol (EC-413 -110 -2):
A study was performed to assess the contact sensitisation potential of the test material (EC 413-110-2) in the albino guinea pig. The study was performed in compliance with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 406 "Skin Sensitisation" and Method B6 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC.
Ten test and five control animals were used for the main study.
Based on the results of sighting tests, the concentrations of test material for the induction and challenge phases were selected as follows:
- lntradermal lnduction: 0.5 % w/v in arachis oil BP
- Topical lnduction: 25 % w/w in arachis oil BP
- Topical Challenge: 10 % and 5 % w/w in arachis oil BP
The test material produced a 0 % (0/10) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin.
Source Substance; 1-(2,6-bis(4-tolyl)-1,3-dioxano(5,4-d)-1,3-dioxan-4-yl)ethane-1,2-diol (EC 402-950-5):
A modification of the Buehler method (OECD 406) was used to assess the skin sensitisation potential of technical Gel-All-MD (EC 402-950-5)
Following a preliminary study designed to determine the maximum non-irritant and minimum irritant concentrations, a 40% w/w concentration of the test material in 0.5% aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose was applied topically to the 10 animals within the test group, for a period of 6 hours. This procedure was repeated at weekly intervals for a period of three weeks. A further 10 animals forming the control group, remained untreated during this stage of the study.
After 14 days all animals were challenged using 40% and 20% w/w concentrations of the test material. Assessments of dermal reactions were made 24, 48 and 72 hours after the challenge application.
No evidence of any dermal reaction to treatment was seen after challenging with either 40 or 20% w/w concentrations of the test material.
It is concluded that technical Gel-All-MD did not induce delayed dermal hypersensitivity in the guinea pig.

- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The concentrations of test material to be used at each stage of the main study were determined by 'sighting tests' in which groups of guinea pigs were treated with various concentrations of test material. The procedures were as follows:
-Selection of Concentration for lntradermal lnduction:
Four concentrations of test material were investigated (0.1 %, 0.5 %, 1 % and 5 % w/v in arachis oil BP). A total of 4 guinea pigs wereused, each guinea pig receiving four 0.1 mL injections of only 1 concentration of test material. The degree of erythema at the injection sites was assessed approximately 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 d after injection according to the Draize scale. The degree of oedema was not evaluated. Any evidence of systemic toxicity was also recorded. The highest concentration that caused only mild to moderate skin irritation, and which was well tolerated systemically, was selected for the intradermal induction stage of the main study.
-Selection of Concentration for Topical lnduction:
Two guinea pigs (intradermally injected with Freund's Complete Adjuvant 17 days earlier) were treated with 4 preparations of the test material (50 %, 25 %, 10 % and 5 % w/w in arachis oil BP). Applications were made to the clipped flanks under occlusive dressings for an exposure period of 48 h. The degree of erythema and oedema was evaluated approximately 1, 24 and 48 h after dressing removal. The highest concentration producing only mild to moderate dermal irritation was selected for the topical induction stage of the main study.
-Selection of Concentration for Topical Challenge:
Four preparations of the test material (25 %, 10 %, 5 % and 2 % w/w in arachis oil BP) were applied to the clipped flanks of 2 guinea pigs under occlusive dressings for an exposure period of 24 h. These guinea pigs did not form part of the main study but had been treated identically to the control animals of the main study, up to Day 14. The degree of erythema and oedema was evaluated approximately 1, 24 and 48 h after dressing removal. The highest non-irritant concentration of the test material and one lower concentration was selected for the topical challenge stage of the main study.
MAIN STUDY
- Test group: 1 group of 10 animals
- Control group: 1 group of 5 animals
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2; intradermal and topical
- Exposure period: 48 h (topical induction)
- Site: 40 mm x 20 mm on the shoulder region
Induction of test animals
- Shortly before treatment on Day 0 the hair was removed from an area approximately 40 mm x 60 mm on the shoulder region of each animal with veterinary clippers. A row of 3 injections (0.1 mL each) was made on each side of the mid-line. The injections were:
a) Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water in the ratio 1:1
b) a 0.5 % w/v formulation of the test material in arachis oil BP
c) a 0.5 % w/v formulation of the test material in a 1:1 preparation of Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water.
Approximately 24 and 48 hours after intradermal injection the degree of erythema at the test material injection sites (ie. Injection site b) was evaluated.
-One week later (Day 7), the same area on the shoulder region used previously for intradermal injections was clipped again and treated with a topical application of the test material formulation. A filter paper patch loaded with the test material formulation (25 % w/w in arachis oil BP) as a thick, even layer was applied to the prepared skin and held in place with a strip of surgical adhesive tape covered with an overlapping length of aluminium foil. The patch and foil were further secured with a strip of elastic adhesive wound in a double layer around the torso of each animal. This occlusive dressing was kept in place for 48 h.
- The degree of erythema and oedema was quantified 1 and 24 h following removal of the patches. Any other reactions were also recorded.
Induction of the control animals
-lntradermal injections were administered using an identical procedure to that used for the test animals, except that the injections were:
a) Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water in the ratio 1:1
b) arachis oil BP
C) a 50 % w/v formulation of arachis oil BP in Freund's Complete Adjuvant/distilled water 1:1
Approximately 24 and 48 hours after intradermal injection the degree of erythema at the vehicle injection sites was evaluated.
- The topical applications followed the same procedure as for the test animals except that the vehicle alone was applied to the filter paper. Skin reactions were quantified as for the test animals.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 1
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Site: 20 mm x 20 mm
- Concentrations: 5 % and 10 % w/w in arachis oil BP
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after challange dressing removal, the degree of erythema and oedema was quantified.
- Shortly before treatment on Day 21, an area of approximately 50 mm x 70 mm on both flanks of each animal, was clipped free of hair with veterinary clippers. A square filter paper patch loaded with a thick, even layer of test material at the maximum non-irritant concentration (10 % w/w in arachis oil BP) was applied to the shorn right flank of each animal and was held in place with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To ensure that the maximum non-irritant concentration was used at challenge, the test material at a concentration of 5 % w/w in arachis oil BP was similarly applied to a skin site on the left shorn flank. The patches were occluded with an overlapping length of aluminium foil and secured with a strip of elastic adhesive bandage wound in a double layer around the torso of each animal.
After 24 h, the dressing was carefully cut using blunt-tipped scissors, removed and discarded. The challenge sites were swabbed with cotton wool soaked in diethyl ether to remove residual material. The position of the treatment sites was identified by using a black indelible marker-pen. Prior to the 24-h observation the flanks were clipped using veterinary clippers to remove regrown hair. - Positive control substance(s):

On the day before dosing the flanks of four guinea pigs were clipped free of fur using a clipper. On the day of dosing four concentrations of the test material were prepared. These concentrations were 0.5, 5, 10 , 20 and 40% in aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). 0.5g of each concentration was applied to a 20mm square of absorbent lint BPC which was in turn applied to a different skin site on the flank of each animal. These patches were then occluded for six hours using "Blenderm" occlusive tape and secured using an adhesive bandage. 24 and 48 hours after treatment commenced the treated sites were examined under a standard light source. Any response to the treatment was assessed.

- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- It is concluded that technical Gel-All-MD did not induce delayed dermal hypersensitivity in the guinea pig.
- Executive summary:
A modification of the Buehler method (OECD 406) was used to assess the skin sensitisation potential of technical Gel-All-MD.
Following a preliminary study designed to determine the maximum non-irritant and minimum irritant concentrations, a 40% w/w concentration of the test material in 0.5% aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose was applied topically to the 10 animals within the test group, for a period of 6 hours. This procedure was repeated at weekly intervals for a period of three weeks. A further 10 animals forming the control group, remained untreated during this stage of the study.
After 14 days all animals were challenged using 40% and 20% w/w concentartions of the test material. Assessments of dermal reactions were made 24, 48 and 72 hours after the challenge application.
No evidence of any dermal reaction to treatment was seen after challenging with either 40 or 20% w/w concentrations of the test material.
It is concluded that technical Gel-All-MD did not induce delayed dermal hypersensitivity in the guinea pig.
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Justification for type of information:
- 1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
It is proposed that the structural similarity and properties of the target substance and the structural analogue (sources substance) are sufficiently close for there to be a reasonable expectation of similar effects.
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)

- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test material produced a 0 % (0/10) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the contact sensitisation potential of the test material (EC 413-110-2) in the albino guinea pig. The study was performed in compliance with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 406 "Skin Sensitisation" and Method B6 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC.
Ten test and five control animals were used for the main study.
Based on the results of sighting tests, the concentrations of test material for the induction and challenge phases were selected as follows:
- lntradermal lnduction: 0.5 % w/v in arachis oil BP
- Topical lnduction: 25 % w/w in arachis oil BP
- Topical Challenge: 10 % and 5 % w/w in arachis oil BP
The test material produced a 0 % (0/10) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin.
It is proposed that this result can be used in the assessment of the target substance (EC 406-176-9).

Based on these results, the following concentrations were selected for the main study:
Intradermal induction: 0.5 % w/v in arachis oil BP
Topical induction: 25 % w/w in arachis oil BP
Topical challenge: 10 % and 5 % w/w in arachis oil BP
Main study
-Skin Reactions Observed After lntradermal lnduction:
Well-defined erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of all test group animals at the 24 and 48-hour observations. Very slight erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of all control group animals at the 24-h observation and in 4 control group animals at the 48-h observation.
-Skin Reactions Observed After Topical lnduction:
Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the induction sites of all test group animals at the 1-h observation with very slight erythema at the induction sites of 9 test group animals at the 24-h observation. Bleeding from the intradermal induction sites was noted in 5 test group animals at the 1-h observation. Residual test material was noted in all test group animals. Bleeding from the intradermal induction sites was noted in 1 control group animal at the 1-h observation. No signs of erythema or oedema were noted at the treatment sites of control group animals at the 1 and 24-h observations.
-Skin Reactions Observed After Topical Challenge:
No skin reactions were noted at the challenge sites of the test or control group animals at the 24 or 48-h observations.
-Bodyweight:
Bodyweight gains of guinea pigs in the test group, between Day 0 and Day 24, were comparable to those observed in the control group animals over the same period.
No evidence of dermal reaction to treatment was seen in any of the test or control animals challenged with 40% and 20% w/w concentrations of the test material in 0.5% w/v aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose.

Based on these results, the following concentrations were selected for the main study:
Intradermal induction: 0.5 % w/v in arachis oil BP
Topical induction: 25 % w/w in arachis oil BP
Topical challenge: 10 % and 5 % w/w in arachis oil BP
Main study
-Skin Reactions Observed After lntradermal lnduction:
Well-defined erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of all test group animals at the 24 and 48-hour observations. Very slight erythema was noted at the intradermal induction sites of all control group animals at the 24-h observation and in 4 control group animals at the 48-h observation.
-Skin Reactions Observed After Topical lnduction:
Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the induction sites of all test group animals at the 1-h observation with very slight erythema at the induction sites of 9 test group animals at the 24-h observation. Bleeding from the intradermal induction sites was noted in 5 test group animals at the 1-h observation. Residual test material was noted in all test group animals. Bleeding from the intradermal induction sites was noted in 1 control group animal at the 1-h observation. No signs of erythema or oedema were noted at the treatment sites of control group animals at the 1 and 24-h observations.
-Skin Reactions Observed After Topical Challenge:
No skin reactions were noted at the challenge sites of the test or control group animals at the 24 or 48-h observations.
-Bodyweight:
Bodyweight gains of guinea pigs in the test group, between Day 0 and Day 24, were comparable to those observed in the control group animals over the same period.
No evidence of dermal reaction to treatment was seen in any of the test or control animals challenged with 40% and 20% w/w concentrations of the test material in 0.5% w/v aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance (EC 406-176-9), based on the results of skin sensitisation studies conducted and supported by two structurally similar substances, is not classified for skin sensitisation.
